My husband lost his job again and I want to take over with making the money, so I do not have to worry so much. Right now I work in the medical field and do not like it at all. The only career that I can think of doing would be over the solo road truck driver. Thanks for your help.

I have very little college under my belt, no degree. I currently do oilfield hotshot with my own truck and trailer, I have been doing this for a little over a year. Prior to that I drove an 18 wheeler over the road with a friend of mine. I have a family and would like to get away from driving as it keeps me away from home for too long. Would really like a M-F job so that I can be home evenings and weekends. I do need to make at least $50K yr. Please, serious answers only. I’ve poured over job sites for the last couple of years to no avail. Thanks for your help in advance.

People have reduced repairs by a lot. They cannot afford gas let alone repairs. Who can blame them. I was thinking fiber optics or heavy equipment? I like to work with my hands. Starting out at this age thought I need a little better money. Extremely dedicated employee shows up early, stays late, never calls of etc. I also thought of truck driving but that would be tough Away from family!!!!! Not an option!!!

I have a part-time work-study job, but that doesn’t pay much. He says that he would be able to make more money if he goes over the road, so he has been studying to get his CDL A license (he just has a B license right now), and he is supposed to take the driving test this weekend. I was just wondering, would this be a good career move for him? Does OTR driving pay very well? And do any OTR drivers out there have any tips that will help him to do well on this test? Thanks in advance for your answers.
